  • Adults-only glamping in a shepherd’s hut on the outskirts of Denshaw
  • Pennine Way hikes five minutes’ drive; Ski Rossendale half an hour
  • Ensuite shower room and toilet; kitchen, logburner and outdoor seating
Expansive views of the countryside, traditional pubs within a 20-minute walk, and the Pennine Way five minutes’ drive away. Sounds pretty sweet, right? You can have all that at Cherry Clough Farm, less than a mile outside the village of Denshaw, in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, Greater Manchester. And the cherry on the cake? You’ll be glamping in a compact but modern shepherd’s hut with a double bed, an ensuite shower room and a kitchen area with electric hob, oven and fridge. The gravelled outdoor seating area is a good spot for breakfasting or dining alfresco, shaded by tall trees. Need provisions? There’s a farm shop in Saddleworth, not to mention a couple of supermarkets in the town of Shaw (both 10 minutes’ drive). This is an adults-only site (and same-sex couples are welcome), and just the ticket for a romantic break filled with cosy evenings spent by the woodburning stove or in a village pub (there are several in and around Denshaw), sipping a pint of real ale. As for the daytime, there’s heaps to do, in addition to exploring the Pennine Way (which can be accessed from either of two car parks five minutes’ drive away). You can hike 20 minutes to Crompton Moor View Point for far-reaching vistas; wander through Marsden Moor (10 minutes), keeping an eye out for mountain hares, lizards and assorted birdlife; or visit Hollingworth Lake (20 minutes), where an activity centre organises paddleboarding, windsurfing and sailing.

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Fantastic hosts. Well equipped for a short stay. Nice comfy bed, plenty of logs and kindling for the log burner and the fire pit. 10 min walk into denshaw for pubs etc. will definitely return. Thanks again for a lovely stay.

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Beryl and Dave made us feel very welcome upon arrival. The site is very secluded and plenty of amenities are provided. The pub down the road serves great food and the site is near some great walking routes. Got to see some deer walk past the window and watch the sheep grazing. It was too windy for us to use the fire pit but the indoor fire made us feel very toasty.

Disliked: No freezer to make ice cubes, so we drank beer instead of gin and tonics 😂

From the manager: Thank you for the lovely positive review sorry you missed out on your Gin & Tonics

Shepherd's hut

Liked: The surroundings, beautiful and peaceful, private and secure. The Shepherds Hut was delightful! Exceptionally clean and the decor and little welcome "gifts" of biscuits, sweets, prosecco, milk, tea and coffee as well as fresh orange juice and water in the fridge we're special and very much appreciated. Tge lig burner and logs all ready to light kept us warm all night. Really lovely and friendly owners had great knowledge of the local and surrounding areas too. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Loved our stay in this shepherds hut. Lovely owners with great communication. Everything you need for your stay plus the lovely little touches of the extras in the welcome hamper. The hut is on its own with nothing to overlook you with lovely views. No WiFi but we never struggled with a signal. We would return in a heartbeat

Disliked: Nothing

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Beautiful little hideaway. Absolutely lovely inside with everything you could possibly need - really cosy too. Owners were incredibly helpful, polite, and kept the accommodation to a high standard. There are 3 pubs in walking distance (depending how far you’re willing to walk, but 1 is only 20 mins or so away) but you could easily just take your own food/drink and spend a cosy evening inside. The weather was rainy for us- but it didn’t matter, we had a better time than we have camping in glorious sunshine! Shower and bathroom were spotless with everything you need, towels, shower gel, shampoo etc. Kitchen area was perfect and had everything we needed too. Bed was super cosy and we could’ve easily slept for another 12 hours, sad we didn’t book two nights! Will definitely be returning and recommending to everyone! Thank you 🐝 🤍

Disliked: Nothing! A perfect getaway.

Local attractions

At Standedge Tunnel and Visitor Centre (20 minutes’ drive), you can take a boat trip through the longest canal tunnel in Britain. A visitor centre illustrates the construction of this three-mile long structure, and there’s also a waterside café where you can relax and take in the views. Just outside Rochdale, Healey Dell Nature Reserve (half an hour) is the spot for those who are into industrial archaeology, with remains of centuries-old mills on the banks of the River Spodden and an imposing Victorian viaduct that you can stroll or cycle on – or under, if you don’t have a head for heights. The qualified instructors at Ski Rossendale (half an hour) will guide you through the basics of skiing and snowboarding, so you can negotiate gentle slopes with confidence. If you want to experience the thrill of sliding downhill without having to worry about staying upright, there is also tubing.
